| Comments: | I have always liked the Beatles and I think Cynthia was the best thing that ever happened to john and he was a fool the way he treated her and cheated on her all though there life together and I can not stand yoko I don't know what he saw in her because she is ugly as hell she must had been good in bed because it couldn't be her looks.... and I think it is sad how poor Julian had to grow up without his father and
and how he stayed at home and raised sean I just feel sorry for Julian if he didn't have his mother who did a great job of raising him on her own without John's help that he turned out to be a nice young man.....and cynthia I loved your book called John and honey I feel for the life you had with him!!!!! I hope you are much happier now??????? |

| Comments: | Hello, Cynthia! My name is Laura, I live in America(like it says in my name, my name is Laura and I am an American girl/woman). Even though I am just a teenage, American girl, I feel like I have learned a lot about you. It started when I got interested in The Beatles, about a year and a half ago, i think. then, after I had learned a lot about them, i got really interested in their wives/girlfriends and children. I can honestly say that you and Linda McCartney are my top two favorite Beatle wives, but I love them all! (R.I.P. Linda Eastman McCartney!) I think it is amazing how you went through so much, with John and Yoko and everything, and even before Yoko got involved, and you still remained so kind and sweet! You are truely a remarkable woman! You are also very beautiful and lovely, which i'm sure most people know, but something that they may not realize is that you are also very smart! Not to meantion, that you are a great mother to Julian(so adorable!) But, anyways, i just wanted to let you know that you have not been forgotten or anything! Best of luck, and lots of love,
Laura |

| Comments: | Hi Cynthia!
I had to write to you after reading your fabulous book "JOHN". I could not put it down. I have recommended it to everyone I know! What you had to go though is shocking. My heart ached for you-what you had to endure. I had a similar experience in my 20s - being left in a similar way with a young child. However, you are a much finer woman than I. There were points in the book where I kept thinking to myself how awesome it was that you kept your composure, grace and class when faced with situations that would have made me tear Yoko's eyes out!!! How were you able to do it!? I felt myself rooting for you...There were times as I was reading I felt myself imagining what I would have done to Yoko if I were in your shoes. I was really feeling disgusted about how yoko just wrecked your home !! I am a fan of the Beatles and John, but now I am a much bigger fan of you. Any woman who has been through a similar experience would probably agree that in situations like this, there are NOT two sides to the story. There is one side - the right side- which is your side. you were the one who had to care for a child - on your own- the hardest job ever. You were the one who was hidden away - and graciously agreed to do it for the sake of your husband's career. You were the one who had to be mom and dad to your lovely son. You were the one who had to teach him EVERYTHING. You were the one who I'm sure was up many nights with fevers and illnesses and worries etc. You were the one who had to find a way to pay for everything yourself. You were the one who got no help. I know now how much it takes to raise children-even with a good, supportive husband (I was lucky to find happiness again) In reading Julian's forward, it is so apparant how much he loves and appreciates you and that speaks volumes about the job you did raising him. What a blessing to have such a fine son. I am so happy for you that you have found happiness again. Even though I do not know you, I felt such a connection to your experiences. I wish you all the best of everything and continued happiness. Thank you for writing such an inspirationsl book! BGreen NYC |

I am a young woman of 25 living in Charlotte, NC. I just got hold of your book on Sunday and finished it last night. I can honestly say that I did not grow up with the Beatles but literally over night I am amazed at your growth that you endured through in the '60s. I was angry for your struggle during your hardship yet proud of your growth. You raised a fine son and virtually did it by your own means. I learned from your book--thank you for that. Keep growing Cyn!!! Sincerely, Ashley |

I would still call myself a fan of John Lennon but would like to thank Cynthia for sharing her memories good and bad. I was stuck to this book and greatly appreciate how hard it must have been to follow this lifestyle and then re-live it. Julian is a credit to you.
Take care and again my heartfelt thanks Michael All genious is touched by madness, you are head and shoulders above Yoko |

An amazing time in history. I feel a little bit closer to their story and wish Cynthia the best of luck going forward. I had some of those old 45's with 1-2 songs on each side. I really liked if i fell , that boy , and all of the early tunes , even though i was just 7 or 8 years old. My 3 brothers and I used to play like we were the Beatles when we were kids.

| Comments: | I just want Cynthia to know, I read her book "John" and was so touched by her writing. I am 49 and have been an avid fan of the Beatles (in particular John who was my hero)since being a kid. I have read many books on the Beatles but feel that only now have I read the true account. I felt angry with him and sad at the same time but mostly for Cynthia, Julian and both families. I really hope that they have found happiness as they so deserve it. A wonderful lady who has shown no bitterness, only compassion when pushed to the edge.
Kind Regards, Steve Eckersley Bolton, Lancashire |

| Comments: | To everyone and Kathleen, "those were the days" I have also tried to find, I looked in the shops, on the internet, on YouTube, on itunes and I just cannot find it anywhere, like you Kathleen, I have just seen it mentioned on other sites and I've seen the picture that was on the CD cover. The only version I have found was the original by Mary Hopkins-and I can see the reason why Cynthia chose it because the lyrics are similar to her own life perhaps, it is a lovely song. Cynthia your the best! I am doing a piece of artwork on you and some of the other Beatles wives. x |

| Comments: | From what I've read on other sites, Cynthia has a terrific singing voice. Some have even suggested that all those years after John, she should have been spending her time in recording studios, instead of restaurants! I have not had the pleasure of hearing her version of, "Those Were The Days." How would I go about obtaining a copy? Perhaps she could record with Julian sometime? |

| Comments: | I have just finished reading JOHN and could not put it down fascinating. Cynithia it must have been very cartithic for you and brought back some very good fond merories plus a lot of painful ones as well.I also thank you for giving me an insight into the genious mind of JOHN and that i have found sometimes genious can be a partner to depression at times. I feel there are so many reasons i could give u as to why the people ...aunt mimi. brian. and even john behaved they way they did, the times of that era and a lot of physcology behind their behaviour . i had a similar situation whenmy husband died, i was ostorisied from my husbands friends, felt very alone for years, but i slowly got to know my self ...through painful struggle and now i like me....but it is diffucult to get to know yourself...especially as you were a part of a very famous couple....and people seem ed to want to know because of who you were married to, and i find it would have been frustrating as to whom u coould trust....but you did have a small group of people that stood by you.....agin the book was very worth reading...amy,,,,take care |

| Comments: | In my opinion, Julian today is already a better man than his dad...morally, spiritually, in many ways that truly are important. Whether or not he ever fathers a child is not the issue here. He has fine basic core values, instilled in him by his wonderful mother. If he does one day become a parent, I have no doubt he will be a fine one. As for Sean, who knows if they will ever be close? They are both adults now, and responsible for their own behavior. I'm sure whatever happens will be in the best interest of both parties. |

| Comments: | I just finished reading John, which I bought for my 15 year old son this Christmas (he is a fan....) and the most poignant and painful moment for me, was the image of John and Yoko sitting naked facing each other on the floor of Cynthia and John's home. At that moment I felt so sad for Cynthia and Julian, that John could abuse their family home in such a sadistic way, and that Yoko could relish in the moment. I think that sums Yoko up.
It would be nice to think that Julian and Sean are friends, but maybe that will never happen whilst Yucky Yoko is still alive. Her manipulation, and heartless cruelty towards Julian (and Cynthia) makes a mockery of her so called "Peace" and "Love" ideas. I think she doesn't walk her talk, especially when she didn't have the heart to give Julian the guitar that would have meant the world to him. She is cruel. It would be a beautiful moment if Sean had the character to fly to Julian and say: "I want you to have this", and simply give him the guitar and mend the rift. After all, without such a manipulating mother to ruin things for the two of them, they should and could be beautiful brothers together. If Julian is half the person his mother is, and I'm sure he is, then he will break the mold of his father, when one day he has a child. Love, Peace and Bananas to you all. |

I have ALWAYS been the biggest Beatles fan on earth so she was an important influence on me. She was very elegant and knew how to behave like a lady. I loved her very much.

I've just completed high school,with focus on humanities,and I've always been taught to analyse the reliability of the source.I thought your account was one of great honesty and strength, and made me quite sympathetic of you. I began the book in awe of john lennon, and finished it admiring your character and your overt desire to be in control and steady,which I think is your greatest asset.Thankyou. |

| Comments: | Yes, Jullian should have his fair share! Jullian should get the same as Sean whatever way, they are both sons of John Lennon. Just because Yoko ono was John's wife at the time doesnt mean that Jullian, or Cynthia for that matter,be pushed into the background. There is a song John lennon sang called "Jealous guy" and I was watching the video of it for the first time the other day, and I almost became emotional as he was singing the words "I never meant to make you cry, oh my, I didnt want to hurt you..." the video showed a picture of Cynthia- I was glued to the screen of the computer- I just kept thinking 'he said sorry to Cynthia...he said sorry'- but after I researched the lyrics of the song I found out that the song was actually written for Yoko Ono- but I had this lovely feeling that he was sad that he hurt Cynthia and that he wanted to say sorry. It was lovely thinking that the song is for Cynthia. Also in the video it shows Jullian as a little boy, again John is saying sorry that he made him cry...(I really recommend watching the video- at least the first part anyway!)

| Comments: | In looking at most of the pictures of Cynthia with John, there seems to be a lot of arriving and leaving, but little staying, if you know what I mean. Many trips to wonderous, distant lands~or evenings out to gala, black-tie affairs, but little in between. I don't think this is necessarily the way either one wanted it, but to attain his goals, that was how it had to be. How sad they paid such a high price for the fame and fortune, that Cynthia and Julian benefitted little from later on, when John took up with Yoko. As for the "battle" I've read about going on between the wives, at present, I really don't blame Cynthia for wanting what her son is fairly and morally entitled to~his fair share, which to this point, he has NEVER had. |

| Comments: | That’s is exactly what I think, you couldn’t of described it better. I do think John was troubled inside. And I think he just did what he felt was right to him- whether it was for good, or for the bad, even if it would meaning hurting loved ones.
Another thing I have just thought of was when John heard the news of his friends death and at first he laughed, then broke down- maybe we could look at it like that, that was the way he dealed with life. A quote from Cynthia’s book “great love on the one hand; pain, torment and humiliation on the other”. If I ever met John for real…I wouldn’t know what to think- perhaps reminding me of just a naughty school boy doodling on his school books!? |

| Comments: | Alice,
You are quite welcome. As for Cynthia, yes, she displays grace and tranquility beyond what most people possess. I've wondered from time to time why she didn't fight for her man but, I think she had the wisdom to see that no matter what she had done, or said, at that point, her fate with John had been sealed. He simply was seeking, and searching, and that journey led him to drugs and Yoko. Cynthia, knowing her responsibilities as a young mother, wanted no part of that scene, not even for the great John Lennon. The more I read about him, the less I think I would have liked him. He had little or no respect for women, completely disreguarded his first family, made fun of those much less fortunate than himself (the physically and mentally challenged), and by letting Yoko have power of attorney over all his financial affairs, even in death he showed a lack of interest in those who loved him most, and depended on him~his family. Actually, I see him now as a very troubled, tormented soul. I hope he made peace with his maker before leaving this earth. Kathleen |

| Comments: | I just wanted to say when I read the book 'John' by Cynthia, the thing that struck me most was how throughout the book Cynthia never writes bitterly about anyone (even Yoko Ono) its not just a book to get her own back, so to speak. Cynthia has put love and care into it- this website is perfectly named- The lovely Cynthia! Also to Kathleen, you are right about the bigger concerns in life, and we should all be thankful for the good things in life- I felt very encouraged by your message- thankyou!!

| Comments: | This is for everyone out there but, particularly for Alice. Just relax, it's no big deal. So, you made a mistake...don't take yourself, or life, so seriously. We are only human, we all make errors all the time. We aren't here to judge one another. I tend to look for humor in such situations, especially if I'm the one with egg on my face (so to speak), and no one is harmed because of what I've done. We have so many other things to really be concerned about in life...good health, family, finances. A book you should read is called, Don't Sweat The Small Stuff. It does help one to put things in proper perspective. Good luck!

About what Kathleen said, when I read "John" and that Paul came to visit Cynthia after the divorce, I thought also that it was very kind of Paul to do that and that it gave Cynthia encouragement- I think that she wasn’t forgotten at that time of unhappiness. I also just wanted to say that i saw a picture on the internet of a drawing which John did of him and Cynthia and it says at the top- "our first xmas!-I hope it wont be the last" It just made me feel almost a bit emotional- it is a lovely picture.

| Comments: | Just a thought I've had floating around my head for quite some time. After John had left Cynthia for Yoko, and Paul went round to check on Cyn and Julian, and to tell them of the song he had written for Julian, "Hey, Jude," and Paul reportedly remarked to Cyn, "We could have a go at it." I know he had a deep and abiding concern for their well-being, and I hope the offer was either a joke, or meant in a very loving way. Otherwise, it could be viewed as Paul simply trying to get something, or someone very precious to John...or just trying to help John see the light about what he stood to lose. No disrespect intended here, to Paul and Linda and children or grandchildren. No disrespect intended toward Heather and Bea, as well. I was just speculating on how history could have changed. I certainly mean no harm to the legacy of John Lennon. Has anyone else wondered about these questions? I've been accused of thinking too much.

| Comments: | I too agree with Kathy, I also believe in the Bible, i think what you say is right, I feel very intrested in all the comments here, and that so many people have still thoughts on John and Cynthia Lennon which is great. Im so glad there are people in the world who still feel strongly about this. About what happened- the Beatles, and that their wives also had gone through so much too- Cynthia, Maureen, pattie, Linda and then obviously now Olivia and Barbara, i also wanted to mention Jane Asher too. i know from Cynthias book (which is amazing) that with a famous husband it was so hard with things like privacy, and just being together as a family. And I think it is amazing how Cynthia managed to just cope with all those things and more, - I dont think I would be able to cope!! |

| Comments: | Couldn't agree more with most of Traci Campbell's comments. The only thing I have a problem with is the part where she states John is probably looking down from Heaven, wondering how he ever left you for Yoko. If one believes the Bible, and I do, it clearly states, there will be no tears in Heaven. I think all sadness, pain, and anquish is wiped away. Then, when our loved ones arrive, at their appointed time, what a glorious day that is! For we are told, we will be known as we were. You two were young, and very much in love, and that, I think, is how you will be known. |

I have admired you since I was young and could not understand why John would leave you for evil Yoko Ono. And she is the personification of evil....its unimaginable what she did. How she plotted and chased and wore down John when he was probably in a vulnerable position with his drug addiction and position in life. The only explanation is evil, there is good and evil in this world, and she is or was, God help her, definiantily on the side of evil and a force of it. (Even I have to forgive her for what she did to you!) Ever since I was a young girl I couldnt understand why John would ever leave you, you are a million times more beautiful on the inside and outside, it was control and manipulation in the highest ranks, witchcraft (which manipulation is) and heavy drug use to pull him away from you Cynthia. After all these years, I am outraged!I was born in 1966, in the height of Bealtemania and one of my first memories is looking at the cover of my parents album Revolver and being amazed by it. I first read "the Love You Make" by Peter Brown this past summer and my intrest in you got sparked, as a matter of fact his writing of you in the story stood out more to me than the whole rest of the amazing story. I started to research you on the internet back in the summer and found out you wrote your book "John". I finally got the book the past week and it was magnificent! I imagine that you get alot of fan email in response to the book now but I hope you read this, and know Cynthia that I believe strongly it was your destiny to have met John, date him, have his baby and marry him. I believe even though the horror and suffering of what you went thru this world is such a better place because of your life and the lives you touched and touch. If it wasnt for you, there might never have been the Beatles because of the stability you provided John, I believe you were instrumental in the whole story. You provided him the love that inspired some of the greatest love songs ever written....your life will go down in history! And by reading your book you continue to inspire and touch peoples lives.....John was so lucky to have had you in his life and I believe he is looking down from heaven wondering like I am why he ever left you....he must have been crazy on drugs. We reap what we sow and you should harvest a whole new season of love, happiness and joy for the character you have displayed and the love you have shared with us all. At the end of your book you say you would have ran from John, if you knew what you would go through, but the world is a better place because you didnt. I love you Cynthia! I hope you realize how your life affects and infuences others in this world, like me, and that is worth more than Yoko Ono will ever have! Its not easy for me to hate anyone, especially someone I have never met but...your story inspires such strong feelings inside me. She could never gain the respect that the public even after all these years have for the Lovely Cynthia Lennon! There is justice in this world....like you said we must be patient. And there will be a judgement day! Yours sincerly, Traci Campbell |

| Comments: | Just wanted to say that John would have celebrated his 66th birthday today. Sadly, he waa taken long before we were ready to give him up. Let's just pray his spirit is settled, and he is happy, being with those he loved, who have also passed on. The list is a long one: Julia, his Mum; his child with Yoko; Aunt Mimi and especially Uncle George; friend, Stu; Manager, Brian; Maureen, first wife to Ringo; Linda, first wife to Paul; and former Beatle, and friend, George. Greatly missed, and long to be remembered by family, friends, and fans, the world over. |

I just started reading her book 'John' and it's fascinating. I thought her and John absolutely made the sweetest and cutest couple ever, even though they're whole story wasn't particularly like that. She's my new hero now! I adore her. Also, it's Oct. 9th today - Happy Birthday, John Lennon <33 =) |

| Comments: | I have much respect for Cynthia as an honest, hard-working woman, a devoted wife to John, and loving mother to Julian. I was extremely curious to hear her side of the story, after all these years. I do believe, had it not been for the personal transformation John experienced (drugs, Yoko, the breakup of the Beatles), her marriage to John would have sustained. Who knows...he may still be living today, had circumstances been different. We will never have all those answers in this lifetime. I do feel a little twinge of regret that she felt compelled to write a "tell-all" book, however. I do realize she had herself and a young son to support, which is not an easy job. Been there, done that, and still doing it, so, I can personally relate. None of the other ex girlfriends or wives have been as open. I wonder if Cynthia ever has any regrets from writing, not one but, two, books about John...with him not being here to defend himself? Yes, of the two women, Cyn and Yoko, Cynthia would be my choice, hands down every time. She exhibits by far more class and dignity than Yoko will ever have knowledge of. To say that Cynthia and Julian have been treated fairly by Yoko would be an absolute lie, and Yoko has to live with that each and every day. First and foremost, it is important to remember that Julian and Sean are brothers...half-brothers, if we must get technical. Hopefully, when they are older and wiser, Sean will be more sensible than his mother has been.

| Comments: | I have been a huge Beatles fan since as long as I can remember. However, after reading "John", I am now a huge fan of Cynthia's!! What a brave, strong woman she is! I just finished the book and I am still wondering: Why?? Why did John leave someone so supportive, loving and well... normal... for Yoko Ono?! The obvious point of Cynthia's beauty vs. Yoko's lack of it aside... Yoko never came across as anything more than a power hungry selfish woman. Obviously, I don't know her, but from the books I've read, interviews, as well as a short meeting with her at the Free Tibet concert in SF years back. Oh well... anyone who takes the time to read into the full story of John's life with Cynthia, then with Yoko will come to the same conclusion that I have: It must've been the drugs. I think that Cynthia and John were soul mates. Perhaps, in another life, their time will come again. To a better outcome. |

I know this sounds stupid but I have a letter I wrote...just putting thoughts down to Mrs.Lennon....it would be awesome to somehow have her read it....I believe that Cynthia was the woman who held up a man from the start and stayed behind him and with him through his rough days of starting out..what can we say for Yoko? So thanks for that....best wishes...kat |

| Comments: | What comes clear from Cynthia's book is that John Lennon suffered a complete personality disintegration in the late 1960s. Granted, he was a very creative musician and songwriter, with a lot of intelligence and wit. But he was also extremely emotionally fragile. The dual onslaught of fame and drugs obviously shattered him like fine china hitting concrete.
Out of that wreckage emerged abandonment of his wife and family, the breakup of the Beatles, complete subordination to Yoko Ono, and a crack-up of epic proportions. The chief victims in this sad story seem to me to be Cynthia and Julian. Cynthia is obviously a kind, sensitive, caring person with a great deal of intelligence and creative ability of her own. But an intimate, equal relationship was not close to enough to shore up John in his rush to disintegration. Only a full-blown svengali-like mind control artist like Yoko would fit the bill! I found Cynthia's parallels between Mimi and Yoko particularly apt and particularly chilling. What a sad situation when a man -- even a famous and talented man like John Lennon -- discards a gem like Cynthia for a harpie like Yoko. Not to mention royally shafting his son in the process. Bluntly stated, John Lennon was a world-wide success, and a total loser. A great talent, and a hopeless schlub of a human being. In the end, I guess being with Yoko was punishment enough, but it's a shame that Cynthia and Julian paid such a price. |

| Comments: | I found your book to be a complete replica of your first book except that you have embellished it a little, but then John is dead and cannot respond can he?
All through your book you are really critical of Mimi, yet when she died you went to her funeral. I can't imagine why as it was obvious that you two didn't get on, don't you think that you were being more than a little two-faced? John always admitted that he was not a good father to Julian but you claimed in your book that when John went to New York he did not bother to contact his son for 3 years, and that you finally resolved the situation by contacting him yourself. However, John's sister Julia Baird tells a different story in her book, "My Brother." She states that John was worried that he had not heard from Julian for a while. Julia said John asked her to and see you about this on his behalf, which she did visiting you at your home in Hoylake and leaving a message with you for Julian to ring John at the Dakota Building. However, there is no mention of this in your book, considering it is supposed to be the truth. Fred Seaman told you that John had wanted Julian to have his diaries should anything happen to him, so when John why didn't he give them to Julian? Instead Seaman continued to work for Yoko for over a year until he was dismissed for taking items from the Dakota without permission. What is more likely is that Seaman didn't even know of the existence of these diaries until he stumbled upon them at the Dakota, and then instead of handing them to Julian his first thought was to get them published. Did it never occur to you that Seaman was using Julian as an excuse for his actions? Let's face it you simply cannot believe a word Seaman says! He also stated in his book that Yoko only wanted John for his money, which is absolute rubbish as we all know that Yoko Ono comes from one of the most wealthiest families in Japan. Julian comes across in your book as a bit of a spoilt brat, who could only be disciplined by you and no one else and he appears to have grown into a bit of a wimp. So what if Sean Lennon released an album at the same time? The music business is highly competitive you know. Perhaps Sean planned his album first. You stated that Julian adores Sean but did you ever stop to think how Sean feels when Julian criticises Yoko, after all whatever we may think of her she is still Sean's mother. The fact that John left all his money to Yoko comes as no surprise, after all she was John's wife. It's what most spouses do, after all George Harrison left all his money to Olivia. You divorced John in 1968 so how could you possibly know whom he was thinking of leaving his money to in 1979? Whether we like it or not John trusted Yoko to run his affairs and it's common knowledge that she made him a lot of money. A strong woman running the household was nothing knew to John as Mimi had always done so at Mendips. I think John was attracted to Yoko because she reminded him of his Mother. It has been well-documented that John was a strong-willed, strong-minded individual, you said so yourself in your first book, "A Twist of Lennon", so John could only be manipulated if he wanted to be! Face it, you were John's first love but whether we like it or not Yoko was the love of John's life. Despite rumours to the contrary John and Yoko certainly never looked like a couple about to get a divorce, and we are deluding ourselves to think otherwise and believe me it is very hard to feign togetherness if you dont get along (remember Charles and Diana)? John Lennon was a lyrical and musical genius, he never pretended to be perfect and quite frankly what he did in his private life was none of our business. Who are we to judge? After all there but for the grace of God .... I wish you and Julian well, I really do but don't you think it is time you stopped living in the past, stopped raking over the same old coals, stopped calling yourself Lennon (after all you haven't been for nearly 40 years) and got on with your life? |

| Comments: | Dear Cynthia,
Thank you so much for giving fans such as myself, a chance to speak to you. I have just finished reading "John". I read it in two sittings. I usually don't even come close to that result. I must say, I was en~tranced. I was 14 when "John's" group conquered the states, back in '64. They were my heroes almost instantly. John in particular. Oh,and did he ever have a beautiful,hip,cool wife. This man was my hero for sure. I was going to be like him. Needless to say, as time passed, the hero tarnished. Reading your book brought so many things to mind. Not the least of these things being, how (alot of) us men, are always focused,"out there". The shoe-makers children go bare-footed. Only by the Grace of God, did I not "take the bait", on many occasions and in differing ways, in my married life. One reason being the sad legacy John left and not wanting to replicate the heart-aches he produced for his family. It is so bitter-sweet how the years twist and turn and weave things, that we never could have guessed or fore-seen. That I'd be sitting here, being able to write you, and tell you, that you are a hero of mine. And how bravely and triumphantly you've faced the adversity, and are over-coming. Here-Here. May the Good Lord continue to Bless you and your loved-ones and give you Peace in your heart. A log time fan, George K. |

| Comments: | Hey Cynthia,
"those were the days" with the complicated but lovely John Lennon. I've read your wonderful book and I couldn't stop reading because I was so interested in your life with the legend. It sounds like an young stupid fan what I write now but I don't know how to say...I know John always loved you and Julian, but I think you know it by yourself. It hurts so much when he left you two for Yoko but (sorry) I think it was his own decission and nobody could turn his thoughts. Since he lived with Yoko I couldn't recognize him. He changed himself... And it was awful to see how he broke his own biggest fear. He left you and Julian for another woman. Sorry that i behave like a child...but I am one (I'm 15 and from Germany). I'm a Beatles fan since I'm 6. And I always feel with Ringos,Johns,Pauls and Georges life like it's my own one. (Oh Dear how does this sound????) =) So I hope everything goes right!!! Greets to Julian,Phyll,Noel and so on, Jules |

I'm a 22 year old girl from Australia and like the rest, I just read your book.I just wanted to say that I think you and Julian are so brave and seem so kind. Within the past few years I became a Beatles fan... and then there was John. It's so true that when you and Julian are described in other books and print etc. it's like you were only bit players in his life, when that's so far from the truth. I picked your book up in the store the other day and I just couldn't put it down. Impulse purchase!!! (no money left) So I sat down and read it for the next two days. I know that I'm just some chick from the other side of the world who wasn't even born until 3 years after john had died, but I don't know, there's just something about your story and him that has me. I know this sounds dumb coming from a fan who likes to dance while waiting for the microwave to go beep, but I really think he always loved you. It was always you and Julian. Well I hope everything is well. For me, it's off home to get some hot chocolate into me. Mmmmmm hot chocolate. From Siobhain. xoxo |

Last Saturday, while accompanying my son to the local public library, I came across your wonderfully written book, John. I absolutely could not put it down, and have started rereading it a second time already! Although I am an avid reader, this book was truly unique, in that it made me happy, sad, mad, glad, and think about times gone by. It was great reading about John Lennon, but your life experiences are what truly kept this reader's interest. You truly are a strong, remarkable & amazing woman, one who has truly conducted herself with grace & dignity despite being dealt some blows on a very public stage. I am so happy that you have found peace & happiness with your husband. All the best to you, you deserve it! |

What a joy it was to read your book. It took me on a real memory trip, back to 'Ye Cracke' and Tony Carricker (who I worked alongside at the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board's Traffic 'F' Office in the early 60s. Last time I saw Tony he was a Crosville bus conductor with a volume of Keats under his arm!)... and John of course. Those numerous lunchtime and nighttime sessions in the bowels of Mathew Street! You knew a Cavern-dweller by the stench of the Jeyes Fluid on their clothes! Great music, wicked, cynical Liverpool humour, and all that baggage from John that he turned into songs we could identify with, because it was our baggage too. After all the pain I hope your life is good now. I know I'll read your book all over again...and very soon, I enjoyed it that much. I was a scouse teenager all over again! Best wishes David |

I've been a rabid fan of the beatles since 1964..and I've been an equally zealous fan of yours since 1965!I always wanted to write you but never knew how to reach you. Though it must have been a priveleged life you've lived with John and the circus that surrounded the beatles,you also suffered great heartbreak and plenty of frustrations and downright brutal injustice.Yet,you always seemed to go the extra mile,the many extra miles,to try and keep things stable.I recall(maybe I'm wrong)that you even took drugs so you could draw even closer to John.Your inner strength and more importantly,your incredible devotion to the sanctity and gift of pure love is astounding!!...and in my eyes,that makes you,cynthia,even greater a person and of more relevance than even the beatle legacy!No woman in the beatle inner circle can match you even on your worst day!.. especially yoko.I hope it doesn't offend you in any way,but that "woman" was,is and I'm afraid ever will be,a queen manipulator and will be known eventually as the worlds greatest con!John leaving you for her is like someone recieving the "hope diamond",throwing the diamond away and keeping the box it came in! INSANE! Cyn,I wish I could express more eloquently my feelings.To use a cliche,but its accurate,I'm your biggest fan and I'm glad after all these years I can finally (hopefully)connect with you.I wish for you nothing but the greatest of joy and laughter with no heartache.You've had more than your fill of sadness and abuse.I pray GOD shower you with joys so abundant you couldn't live long enough to embrace!Thank you for all the inspiration,at least in my life...GOD love and bless you: Chuck Paul P.S.I'm currently reading your book,"JOHN" and am loving it.Keep going! Let the world see and hear the beautiful woman I've known you to be for 41 years! |

| Comments: | I did find the last chapter, in Cynthia's book about John, especially sad~when Cynthia speaks of the rumors that John's second marriage may not have been going too well, and that he had requested all the photos, and mementos of the days gone by~so he could surround himself with memories of all those he had left behind. Sad. Please excuse me if I have offended anyone with my comments. I, too, think Cynthia must be a fine, honest, strong woman, who deserves our best wishes, and greatest support. |

| Comments: | Who am I to say anything about how anyone conducts (or conducted) their own personal business? It is not our place to judge others or their behavior. My life certainly has been no bed of roses, either. I think the best gift a parent can give a child is love~beyond that, what is there? Yes, we want them to be healthy, reasonably happy, gainfully employed at something they enjoy and are good at, to have faith and perserverance, a sense of pride and patriotism~and equally important, we hope they will always have relatives and friends in their lives who truly love, understand, and respect them. I no longer really care what made who do what~or if someone was manipulative and calculating. What we need to be more interested in is,today,the here and now. I'm always pleased to read something authentic about one I've held in high esteem~one, or several, who paved the way for so many others to follow. As for throwing stones, however, (even if I may want to) I will try to refrain. I support Cynthia in all her efforts to bring the truth to light. In addition, yes, I would like very much to see a documentary done for television, about Cynthia's life.
Sincerely, KB |

| Comments: | As for the reference made in the book to the timing of Sean's Oct. 9th entrance into the world, Yoko may have had her contractions induced, due to the difficult pregnancies she suffered in the past. However, I do wonder if she and John had been together, in an intimate, loving way before he had broken things off with May. I wonder also, if there was another significant man in Yoko's life, prior to her being reunited with John for the last time. What a bumpy ride you have had, Cyn. What makes this situation so gut-wrenching is the fact that: 1) You had a son whose wellfare was your top priority and 2) While at times you were struggling to make ends meet, John had acquired abundant wealth and for the most part, let Yoko have control of it...along with most every other aspect of his existance. |

| Comments: | Read your new publication entitled, John, in just one day; even that was not enough~I had to ponder it for a couple of additional days. What a story, so honest and at times, tearful. The main jest I gather from the book, is that the public John and the private John were sometimes two different men. I have no doubt, however, that Cyn was his first, and possibly only true love. I feel just as strongly that her love for him is eternal. Yoko happened on to the scene when John was embarking on his adventure with drugs. Yoko had an agenda~to promote her work, and get her man (along with his fortune). If there were rumors of divorce, I don't think Yoko would ever have let John have one because, to her, that would have meant she was the loser; she never would have let another woman (that she didn't handpick for him) have John. It's sort of like a spoiled child who is bored with a pet, and won't set it free, to have a happier home elsewhere. Loved all the insight, laughter and tears. Thank you for sharing your story, your love for, and your life with (and without) John. God keep you in his care.
Sincerely, Kathy |

| Comments: | I just finished reading Cynthia's book, "John". I asked Santa to give it to me as a Christmas gift. I had heard a while back of what a cheapskate John was to his 1st family and how Julian was like the unwelcomed guest in the Dakota apartments. Since I've experiences so similar circumstances in my life, I wanted to identify with Cynthia's experience. Like Julian, I have a step mother who is distant and unloving. At my Dad's recent funeral, he was loved and honored by a turn out of 400 people, yet no evidence revealed an ugly past. Everything was nice nice. The good news is my dad showed more warmth to his children from his first family then John gave Julian. I admire Cynthia's tenacity for writing her book. I want to write a book to set the record straight about my dad and his second wife to. Like Cynthia, I hope to tell it as a story and not use it as an exercise in vindictiveness. Happy New Year to all the Lennons, the first family and yes, even the second family |

| Comments: | I just finished the bio on John, and I have to say it was my favorite Christmas gift this year. I have wondered for quite some time if Cyn would ever speak out and confirm the true account of her life with John. As a musician, I will always admire him- a true genius. As a humanitarian, he missed the boat there. All of the bed-ins and public pleas to promote peace and love were nothing but a huge contradiction of the man John Lennon truly was- I will always be a Beatlemaniac, and I say to Cyn "YOU GO, GIRL"!!(Southern (U.S.A.) slang for JOB WELL DONE!)Cyn, you are, and always will be, an important part of Beatles history. Best of luck to you and Julian!!! |

| Comments: | Dear Cynthia,
I absolutely HAD to write to you to tell you how much I LOVED your book and to thank you for sharing it with all of us. Also, I would love to see you interviewed on TV like on Oprah or something here in the US! I missed all the interviews you have done but try to read them online. My brother John met your son Julian in Barbados in April of 2003 and they spent some time together with Lucy (and my sister-in-law Debbie). We're from New York by the way and please mention my brother John to Julian - he should remember him. Anyway, my brother thought Julian was a terrific guy. You must be so proud of him and of yourself. Thanks again for a terrific book and kudos to you for holding your head high all these years. People needed to hear the truth. I still cannot "imagine" how you & your son could have listened to John & ---- ("She Who Shall Not Be Named")go on and on about peace and love meanwhile look how they treated loved ones and family members??!! You're a better woman than me for sure. Happy New Year. Please email me or have a publicist email me any interview schedules. Kind regards, Mary |

| Comments: | I think what we all need to remember with regard to Yoko, is the fact that John, did indeed, love her. I have no doubt that he loved Cynthia as well but, people change. Our goals and dreams change. Life is all about constant change. When John and Cynthia were married, and starting their family, they were very young. The Beatles became so successful, I'm sure it was difficult for the young men and their loved ones to deal with~~living in fish bowls, so to speak. When Sean was born to John and Yoko, John was much more mature, had his career established, and his priorities were in order. Possibly, given the circumstances, with the fans and guidance from Brian, manager of the Beatles, John did the best he could do by Cynthia and Julian. I realize, however, that sometimes a person's best, isn't good enough. Was he wrong to pursue his dream? I think not. So, actually, who's to bless and who's to blame? There was a lot of love, that, I'm fairly certain of. Let's not forget...Julian and Sean are brothers, and they share a bond that will never be broken. |

| Comments: | In retrospect, I must agree that the purpose of this site is not to bash Yoko. In the future, I will refrain from such behavior. By nature, it seems that Cynthia is a very positive, up-beat type of person~~one we could all take a lesson from. She must be a lady in every sense of the word. We can only speculate about John's true feelings, with regards to matters of the heart but, I do think it's possible to have more than one great love, especially when children are involved.

great site! but i was very disapointed with the yoko bashing in the guestbook. Yes, i think she is very rude, but i think this guestbook is to compliment cyn, not bash yoko. if cynthia does read this, i think she appreciates reading compliments to her, not mean stuff to yoko. there are other sites for that. anyways, great job on the site, lots of work put into it. good luck! |

| Comments: | Thought I would drop you a line, as I have changed internet servers, and have a new email address. Still love the Beatles (always will), John in particular. Haven't yet purchased Cynthia's new publication but, I am looking forward, with much anticipation, to finally reading her account of events. I truly believe that John's love for Cynthia never died, and had it not been for many variables, the greatest of which was Yoko, I think John and Cyn could have worked things out, and been happy together, as a family with their son, Julian, whom they both loved, in their own ways. As for Yoko, I think she knew she was basically a woman of little true talent, and used John to further her own persuits. Her ideas of art and music greatly differ from mine. What she has done, anyone could do but, who would want to--and put it out there for the world to see? I don't think so. She is rather a tormented soul, I would think--to be so selfish as to deny Julian access to his father, for the most part, during her time with John. Shame on her. Then, at the time of John's death, to force Cynthia to stay behind, while sending Julian to New York with a friend, was mean-spirited and cruel. John was gone. What did she expect was going to happen? John certainly could no longer declare his love for Cynthia. What was Yoko so afraid of? Julian needed his mother's love and tenderness more at that time, than ever before, I would guess. To say Yoko is greedy is a gross understatement. How she could not give to Cynthia, Julian, and the Lennon Family members, their rightful portion of John's estate-and projected estate-is simply beyond comprehension. I am somewhat familiar with Family Law in the US, as I am a Certified Paralegal but, I know nothing of the laws in England. I do wonder if John's survivors could have gotten together, hired an excellent attorney at law, and contested the will. I think if I had been involved, I would have given Yoko a run for her money, as we say here, in the US. How 'bout it friends? It still may not be too late. Why should she and Sean enjoy all the spoils? |

| Comments: | Hey.. Cynthia is the coolest. I am a big beatles fan, I play in a John Lennon show, but the book almost put me off John a little bit. I can't believe he could do what he did to Cynthia and Julian, I guess it could have been the acid. Secondly, I can't believe the way Yoko treated Julian after John's death, what a loser of a lady. Thinking of what a down to earth, beautiful nice lady Cynthia seems and surely is, what sort of loser would leave that for Yoko Ono. I suppose it's just another of lifes mysteries. Though on a good note, awesome book it really opened my eyes about another side of John, and was enjoyable from front to back. Peace Out! |

| Comments: | Hey!
Just finished reading "John" great book but, Whew, what a story... I just feel like I have to say something. First of all I would like to say that John Lennon, still after reading, reamains an icon to me. I've always been a Beatles fan and I like their music from and after the beatles period. But "All I want is thruth, so just gimme some thruth"! Well i've got it and won't deny it. I believe think many incarnated John Lennon fans probably do, thinking continually that you were somekind of stupid-teenage stalker. Actually I've gotten a much more clearer vision on him after reading. John Lennon was a nothing more than a human being. He had his flaws and good sides, allthough in the end it seems that his anger and bitterness towards himself and the world would overshadow anything good. I don't hate him after reading, but can't help recenting him a little. I'm also aware that the point of your book is not to make people hate, but to do our "naive" world a favour by simply giving us some thruth. I can also imagine it must have removed blocks of stone from your shoulders to get it all out. As for Yoko Ono I recently downloaded a song by her called "goodbye my love" and after reading the book I thank God I downloaded it from Limewire and not from music shop. She's just a little more than full of it. Well. I must admit that I've always thought of her as being bit of a weirdo anyway, but I think your book confirms it! well, what's the point of all this. It your life and it's kind of ridicoulous that people want to comment on it, I mean like any of us really know you.. Take care of yourself;) From Marc Salvo |

| Comments: | Hi, Cyn,
I just finished reading, "John" and have to say I was very moved and touched by your story. I have to admit I felt a variety of emotions. I really felt the pain you and Julian went through during those tough years. I also could feel the joy of being in love, young and free. Your writing was so profound that I felt like I was right there with you. I was brought to tears when I read about your divorce and the events leading up to it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book. It gave me a whole new perspective on John. You're a very strong woman, Cyn and I'm very proud of you for sharing the joy and pain of your life with such a brilliant and unpredictable man. I've loved John and the Beatles ever since I was a small child and was devastated by his death. What bothered me the most about it was that it wasn't his choice, but someone else's. I'll never forget that day as long as I live even though I was only 8 years old. I've read books and watched documentaries, but none as captivating as your's. You're an amazingly talented writer and artist. (I've seen some of your portraits of John) I could ramble on here forever, but I want to thank you again for opening up your heart and writing such a beautiful story which, I'm sure was not easy. I also loved the foreward written by Julian. I really appreciated his honesty of his true feelings regarding his father. I also love Julian's music. It's very soothing and relaxing. I hope he will get back on stage and perform again soon. I live in Los Angeles, CA and hope he'll perform here someday. I'm glad I was able to get a signed copy of your book. It's a real treasure to me. I also loved the photos. You're beautiful on the inside and out. I use your strength as an inspiration to me. As the 25th anniversary of John's death approaches, I hold you and Julian in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. Thank you again for the gift you have given me by writing, "John." Always in my heart, DeAnna |
